Random Member Review

Sep 26, 2014: [This review is current as of chapter 11-7. Spoiler policy: No explicit spoilers for Pact and Worm.]

I devoured Worm in the span of a month. It’s easily among my fiction all-time top 3. Among the things I liked about Worm were its world & setting, unceasing escalation, great cast, greyscale morality, and writing flow & style. One thing I didn’t like were the visions and some of the more obscure puzzles.
